If you need a showstopper/easy dessert for a party, might I suggest these Mocha Icebox Cupcakes? I made them this week (not for a party- just for us!) and they were a real hit.
As we know, my child loves anything coffee flavored (see: Mocha Meringues).
Mocha whipped cream is dolloped in between each layer of chocolate wafer cookies and topped with an espresso bean covered in chocolate. With an afternoon stay in the fridge, you have these portable icebox cupcakes! The whipped cream softens the cookie middles and leaves the edges still kinda crisp. The result? A dessert that tastes close to the coffee oreo ice cream we love! Except there was no freezer or ice cream maker involved in the process. Hooray for simple, tasty desserts that satisfy the most discerning sweet tooth!
